Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, United States
EMAIL : DarlynBurton9k2e23@yahoo.com INTRODUCTION Up for sale is my 1996 Ford F-Super Duty (F450) 7.3L Diesel QUIGLEY4X4 with only 57K original miles. This one of a kind truck is in as would be expected of such a low mileage vehicle. As important asthe low mileage concerning the condition of this truck is the fact that thetruck has never plowed! Never! I bought this truck almost 2 years ago from thesecond owner who loved it and cared for it as well as the original owner did. Iown a very small specialty car dealer and originally purchased the truck to sellimmediately. However, this was before I drove the truck a few times andabsolutely fell in love with it. I’ve decided to now sell the truck, andreplace it with something much less special, as last year I could not bringmyself to drive it in the winter and subject it to the harsh conditions androads of the North East. To me the truck is far too nice to use for daily work.It’s exceedingly rare to find these 7.3L trucks with such low mileage thesedays. Most have been worked to 400K miles and retired or left outside to rot.What’s even more rare is to find an old body style (OBS) 7.3L with all of itsoriginal sheet metal and undercarriage in such superb condition. Take that intoaccount before considering what this particular 7.3L is; An F-Super Duty withthe famous QUIGLEY 4X4 Conversion that was installed when the truck was new.This truck is certainly one of a kind with its infamous 7.3L Diesel, 5 speedmanual transmission, QUIGLEY 4X4, and only 57K miles. I guarantee you will notfind another one like it for sale anywhere in the country and you may never seesuch a pristine example of such a rare and desirable truck ever again. These OBSFord 7.3s are quickly becoming collector’s items, and although I know in thefuture I will regret selling it, I hate to just see it sit idle in the garage.This truck de

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US.

Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
Meet the Greenest and Meanest vehicles of 2016
Wed, Jan 27 2016If you've been keeping track, you won't be surprised with the number one entry in this year's list of greenest cars from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In fact, the top three spots on the 2016 list are all the same as they were in 2015. After that, things get interesting. For one thing, this is the first Greenest list that doesn't have any purely internal combustion engine powertrain on it. Hybrids, yes, but if you want to be one of the top 12 greenest cars this year, you'd better have some sort of electric angle. ACEEE says that the conventional, gas-powered Smart Fortwo and Chevrolet Spark just missed the cut. In a statement, ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan said, "The 2016 scores are in, and plug-in electric vehicles are outpacing all other vehicle offerings in terms of environmental friendliness." Like last year, one of the noticeable vehicles missing from the green list is the Tesla Model S. One reason? ACEEE takes curb weight into account (lighter is better), and the Model S is a heavy beast. The ACEEE doesn't just look at the clean side of the ledger. It also puts out a "meanest" list. These are the vehicles that pollute the most, not only from their tailpipes, but also any pollution created during the entire manufacturing process, from mining the raw materials to the energy used to produce the vehicle at the factory. The entire list, from greenest to meanest, is done using a "cradle to grave" analysis.

Today at greenercars.org, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 19th annual comprehensive environmental ratings for vehicles.
